One of the ways to attempt to assess foetal well-being is by recording foetal heart rate (FHR). Loss of variability and deceleration patterns are known to be associated with foetal distress. Decelerations and foetal bradycardia have been described after any type of effective labour analgesia. This review addresses the questions if certain analgesic techniques and/or analgesics lead to clinically relevant FHR changes, what is their aetiology, and how we should manage these FHR changes.展开更多

The objective of this study is to evaluate the experience of analgesia during labour in three maternity hospitals in Cameroon. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional analytical study conducted over 4 months, from 1 December 2019 to 31 March 2020, at the Yaoundé Gynaecological-Obstetric Hospital, the Yaoundé Central Hospital and the Douala General Hospital. We compared 35 parturients who delivered vaginally under analgesia and 79 parturients who delivered without analgesia. The data collected were compared using Chi 2 and Fischer tests with a significance level of P Results: Parturients aged 30 - 40 years (P = 0.03), public sector employees (P = 0.002) and private sector employees (P Conclusion: Analgesia delivery offers a better birth experience, however it may have negligible side effects.展开更多

In most cases, catheter placement is without serious side effects and uneventful. However, epidural abscess is a rare complication that may result in severe morbidity. We present a case of epidural abscess after labour epidural catheter placement in a healthy 36-year-old female who presented on post-partum d 10 with complaints of fever and back pain. She was treated with intravenous antibiotics and fully recovered.展开更多
目的:评价0.125%的罗哌卡因与每毫升含5μg芬太尼的混合液硬膜外注射用于分娩镇痛的效果与结局。方法:180例初产妇人工破膜后行硬膜外镇痛,先注入1.5%的利多卡因4m l试验剂量后,注入0.125%的罗哌卡因与每毫升含5μg芬太尼的混合液15 m ...目的:评价0.125%的罗哌卡因与每毫升含5μg芬太尼的混合液硬膜外注射用于分娩镇痛的效果与结局。方法:180例初产妇人工破膜后行硬膜外镇痛,先注入1.5%的利多卡因4m l试验剂量后,注入0.125%的罗哌卡因与每毫升含5μg芬太尼的混合液15 m l。再根据病人的要求可给予补充剂量的上述混合液,每次8 m l。另160例初产妇作为对照组未接受镇痛。结果:两组间VAS疼痛分级差异有统计学意义,镇痛组第一产程活跃期明显比对照组,且催产素的使用率高于对照组,差异均有统计学意义。而两组间第二产程、器械助产率和剖宫产率、羊水胎粪污染率、Apgar评分、新生儿体重及产后出血量等差异均无统计学意义。结论:0.125%罗哌卡因与每毫升含5μg芬太尼的混合液硬膜外注射用于病人分娩镇痛具有极好的镇痛效果,不影响母婴结局,不增加器械助产率和剖宫产率。展开更多
